Thanks.

Funny when said like that, but pretty sure the middle class isn't actually the middle when it comes to absolute $ amounts. It's more an arbitrary group than a mathematical thing. Vast quantities of the wealth in this country are controlled by a few % of people, so if you include them in the average amount in retirement, it'll skew things a lot.

How much money do you guys think the average middle-class US retiree has? Honest question, I don't know.

But you broke character! People who thought you were serious in that video will be so confused... Absolutely. Clinging to consistency only has a so-so hit rate when it comes to predicting the future. From "lock her up" because she might have handled confidential info carelessly to being "really impressed" with a general who lost his job as chief of the CIA because he pleaded guilty to mishandling classified information by giving it to his mistress... Who knows ???

I don't have that one, but Garth tends to write about these kinds of stats once in a bit more detail with a source link, and then in following mentions he doesn't always give the detail. So I'd check his recent stuff, the source is probably somewhere in there.

Thank you. Some of the same things he's always said, but a few new tidbits that I enjoyed.

Keep quiet please.... :-) I don't think this forum can move the price on a $300bn+ company ;)

Looks like it might be down because of the general rotation into rate sensitive stocks and into more GDP sensitive stocks.

It's barely down since election, so market doesn't seem to take that very seriously. Who knows, though?
